Feud!

THE TRUMP/ARNOLD FEUD IS BOUND TO BE MORE SENSATIONAL THAN THE BETTE/JOAN FEUD!

We are tickled pink by the mounting feud between two Republicans: Donald Trump and Arnold Schwarzenegger. Arnold has been a die-hard Reagan Republican since he moved to LA and became a huge fan of the California governor. Last year, for the first time ever, Arnold could not support his party’s presidential candidate and tried to say so diplomatically – he advised voters to consider what’s best for their country instead of their party. Trump never forgets a slight and was delighted to pounce on Arnold when opening night ratings for Celebrity Apprentice (which Trump formerly hosted and still produces) were only so-so. Trump denounced Arnold and called himself a “ratings machine.” When Arnold announced Friday that he was not returning to host the show, Donald was thrilled and tweeted that he didn’t quit – “He was TERMINATED over pathetic ratings!” Arnold’s tweeted reply: ”You should think about hiring a new joke writer and fact checker!” He feels viewers shunned the show because of Trump’s connection. All we know is – this feud is going to get BETTER and BETTER- just watch and see!

Bette Davis Feud! Jessica Lange Joan Crawford Judy Davis Susan Sarandon

JOAN CRAWFORD AND BETTE DAVIS WOULD HAVE LOVED RYAN MURPHY

Ryan Murphy has already successfully filmed six out of eight episodes of FX’s “Feud” and he’s made SURE that not a single photo of Jessica Lange or Susan Sarandon in character has leaked out. We hear that Jessica in makeup is a dead ringer for her character Joan Crawford, and Susan already has those Bette Davis eyes! The story celebrates the two stars’ rivalry, and takes place at a dinner at gossip columnist Hedda Hopper’s (played by Judy Davis) house right before the two stars were set to film “Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?” Two women over 50 starring in a movie would never happen today and the plot examines the desperation that mature women in Hollywood suffered then and now. We hear that Jessica Lange and Judy Davis have become fast friends on and off the set. Thanks heavens for TV, or these women wouldn’t be working!

SACHA BARON COHEN HAS NEWS FOR DONALD TRUMP

We didn’t realize that Sacha Baron Cohen has been feuding with Donald Trump for thirteen years. It all started back in 2003 when Cohen, playing his character Ali G, coaxed Trump into doing an interview for his HBO show. It only lasted for 60 seconds and Trump walked off in a huff. He failed to see the humor in Cohen’s show and described Cohen as a “third-rate loser” and a “disgrace.” When Cohen playfully pranked Ryan Seacrest on the red carpet at the 2012 Oscars, Trump observed that Cohen should have been beaten to the ground by security guards. Cohen’s character in the upcoming movie Greed is a takeoff on the vulgar rich. He’s an over-tanned cutthroat billionaire businessman who stashes his money offshore to avoid taxes and lives a gold-plated lavish lifestyle. Sounds like fun.

Bette Davis Feud! Jessica Lange Joan Crawford Susan Sarandon What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?

WHATEVER HAPPENED TO BETTE DAVIS AND JOAN CRAWFORD?

Is Ryan Murphy actually thinking of reinventing the essentially PERFECT 1962 movie “Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?” It featured two of the greatest all time movie legends and gay icons, Bette Davis and Joan Crawford, in their decline. In perhaps the best B movie ever made, screen queens Bette and Joan appeared in shockingly unflattering roles – each one desperate to out-act the other. (Coincidentally, it was also filmed at recognizable places in our own Hollywood neighborhood.) Fortunately, Ryan is NOT remaking the film. He’s documenting the bitter rivalry behind the scenes between the two actresses leading up to Baby Jane in an anthology series for FX called Feud. Sounds like fun, but it’s hard to picture Susan Sarandon as Bette – Jessica Lange as Joan seems more plausible. Surprise – Brad Pitt is co-producing with Ryan.

Feud! Jennifer Lopez

ROSIE PEREZ SAYS JENNIFER LOPEZ WENT ALL GHETTO ON HER

What could be better than a catfight between Rosie Perez and Jennifer Lopez? According to Rosie, it all started back in 1991 when J.Lo auditioned to become a Fly Girl on In Living Color. Rosie was doing some choreography for the show and she liked Jennifer’s looks and talked the boss, Keenan Ivory Wayans, into hiring her. But once Jennifer got the job, according to Rosie’s new book, she started bossing everyone around and the other dancers complained. When Rosie confronted her, Jennifer sneered “I’m better than any of these girls and you know it!” Through the years their relationship has degenerated further – both have fiery tempers and Jennifer’s hifalutin’ ways increased the tension. Rosie laments that women of color SHOULD be supportive of each other.

Celebrity Apprentice Fake! Feud! LaToya Jackson Omarosa

OMAROSA VS LATOYA JACKSON: WE SMELL A FAKE FEUD

We’re inclined to think this LaToya Jackson/Omarosa feud that erupted Sunday night on Celebrity Apprentice is actually a plot hatched by two people who love publicity. Omarosa was obnoxious and she cried and never shut up, and LaToya implied that she was so nasty that she caused her fiancé Michael Clarke Duncan to have that fatal heart attack. Omarosa was her usual awful TV self and the usually soft-spoken LaToya was feisty and out of character on the show. Now Omarosa is threatening to sue LaToya for her insults. Looks like a big scheme to drum up ratings and attention for the two women.

Clive Davis Feud! Howard Stern Kelly Clarkson

HOWARD STERN TO THE RESCUE!

We have to acknowledge Howard Stern for putting his experienced two cents into the Clive Davis-Kelly Clarkson feud. (As you know, Clive wrote some things in his new book that Kelly took exception to.) It’s apparent that Howard’s familiar with the ins and outs of the music business and especially the egotistical guys in managerial positions. Stern summed up the situation for his radio listeners:
“It sickens me when management guys like to set the record straight about how f—ing creative they are and what geniuses they are,” Stern said. “This guy is trying to diminish what she does? Doesn’t he have enough in life, can’t he tell his story without f—ing degrading her?”

American Idol Feud! Mariah Carey Monroe Cannon Nicki Minaj

AMERICAN IDOL FEUD: MARIAH IS ABOVE IT ALL

#mariahcarey #janetcharlton

Mariah Carey took her little girl “Roe” (Monroe) on an outing in Tribeca in New York. Roe wore pink glasses and carried a stuffed bunny. Mariah is secretly pleased that the American Idol “feud” she had with Nicki Minaj left HER looking good. Whether the outburst was fake or not, Nicki came off like a common loudmouth and her trashy language just made it worse. At least Mariah had the sense to contain her comments.

American Idol Fake! Feud! Mariah Carey Nicki Minaj

MARIAH CAREY AND NICKI MINAJ’S AMERICAN IDOL FEUD: IT’S ALL FAKE!

#mariahcarey #nickiminaj #janetcharlton

Don’t fall for that trumped up “feud” between Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj on American Idol – they are being PAID handsomely not to get along with each other! American Idol is well past its prime and desperately in need of some drama and glamour. Producers figured that hiring two musical divas and pitting them against each other would heighten interest in the show. But like other reality shows, the drama is forced and scripted. Deep down, both of these performers probably realize that these antics are an insult to women. Men like to perceive attractive women as competitive and nasty to each other and Idol producers are playing this male fantasy to the hilt. We’re betting Mariah and Nicki will become great friends off camera.

Feud! Jack Osbourne NBC Sharon Osbourne Stars Earn Stripes

DOES “AMERICA’S GOT TALENT” REALLY NEED SHARON OSBOURNE?

Sharon Osbourne is in a huge dispute with NBC over her son Jack losing a job on a reality show. Jack, 26, had been in talks to appear on “Stars Earn Stripes,” which pits celebrities against each other on military exercises, but the show cut ties with him after he announced that he has multiple sclerosis. Producers pointed out that the rigors of the show might be too intense for him and what’s more, they insist that Jack was never actually hired and no contracts were signed. Apparently Jack never mentioned his condition to producers before he went public with it in June. Sharon was outraged by Jack’s loss and claims that an NBC exec offered to pay Jack his full appearance fee but she refused. In retaliation against NBC, Sharon quit her job on “America’s Got Talent.” We can appreciate that new dad Jack needs a job, but this is ridiculous. This is Jack’s battle and control freak Sharon should butt out.
